Hometown hero: Sterling volleyball star Lexi Rodriguez receives key to the city
By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com
STERLING – Sterling Mayor Diana Merdian presented Lexi Rodriguez, a Sterling High School volleyball standout who just finished a stellar college career with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, with the key to the city at an autograph-signing event Dec. 23.
A crowd of about 100 people, including young children with volleyballs, came to get an autograph and picture with Rodriguez, who dominated the volleyball courts at the libero position for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Rodriguez recently signed a contract to play professionally for League One Volleyball in Omaha.
Rodriguez played in every set for the Cornhuskers since her debut match as a freshman in 2021, consistently leading the team in digs throughout all four of her seasons in Lincoln, Nebraska. She had 15 digs in her last game in the NCAA semifinals to set the school career digs record, breaking Justine Wong-Orantes’ mark of 1,890. Rodriguez finished her Cornhuskers career with 1,897 digs.
Rodriguez is a four-time American Volleyball Coaches Association
All-American, earning multiple firstteam selections and one second-team honor, along with being named Big Ten Defensive Player/Libero of the Year three times.
“Tonight we gather to celebrate an extraordinary individual whose talents and dedication have brought immense pride to our city,” Merdian said. “Lexi, through your journey you’ve never for -
gotten where you came from. You’ve always been a beacon of light for Sterling, showing the world that greatness can come from anywhere if fueled by passion and hard work. You’ve inspired young athletes to dream big, to put in effort and to believe that they too can make a difference in the world.”
Kolbi Lawson is an outside hitter for Net Force Volleyball. She traveled from Princeton to meet Rodriguez and get her autograph.
“I feel like she’s a big inspiration in volleyball,” Lawson said. “She makes
women’s sports more important and she continues to show the world that anything’s possible, even if you come from a small town.”
Rodriguez had no idea she would be receiving the key to the city at the signing event and was humbled at the honor.
“I’m just so honored to call this place home and I’m so grateful that you all have been so welcoming and amazing,” Rodriguez said. “I’m grateful for all of you, for my family, all my friends, and I will always be blessed to be able to come back to this special town. Thank you all.”

Krumpets Bakery & Restaurant under new ownership
By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com
DIXON – A pair of “super hospitable coffee lovers” are putting their touch on an iconic Fulton restaurant and bakery.
Jay and Jenna Sanders bought Krumpets Restaurant & Bakery at 1016 Fourth St. from former owners Manreet and Melanie Kalyan in October. Jenna’s father bought the building.
The Sanders also own 392Caffe, a craft coffee shop and restaurant with locations in Clinton and the Quad-Cities in Iowa. Jay Sanders said although he was not looking to expand, when the opportunity to buy the business arose, it did help solve one problem.
“In the beginning, 392 did all of its own baking,” Sanders said. “But as we grew and had more locations, we couldn’t keep up. So we had to outsource it to local bakeries in the Quad-Cities area. So taking that back in-house was a big opportunity for us, as well as putting our coffee in other locations.”
Krumpets has been a household name in the Fulton area for more than
15 years. Its menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner options including salads, sandwiches, wraps and desserts. The bakery’s pastry options
include cinnamon rolls, danishes, scones, bear claws, pies, cookies and more.
Sanders said customers still can
enjoy many of the baked goods they have come to love while trying some new additions to the menu, including specialty coffee and energy drinks. He plans to enhance Krumpets’ coffee bar inside the restaurant.
“The bakery currently does great business and I have a lot of amazing recipes that have been passed down ever since the original founder,” Sanders said. “But also, Savanna Pickett, our manager and the head baker, is known for her baked goods and my wife developed several recipes when she was our only baker.”
Sanders plans to exclusively supply all 392Caffe locations with Krumpets’ pastries over time. He hopes the broader community will come to embrace Krumpets the way Fulton has.
“Fulton has consistently shown love to this place,” Sanders said. “There are super loyal people who come here and the crew knows everybody by name and knows what they order. It’s a really cool culture inside, but it’s also a community with lots of deep relationships. That’s the heart of this place and that will definitely stay the same.”

Illinois Attorney General highlights new laws that take
resulting child sexual abuse images nonetheless perpetuate abusive and predatory behavior.
CHICAGO – Attorney General Kwame Raoul is highlighting four new laws initiated by his office that will go into effect Jan. 1.
House Bill 4623 cracks down on child sexual abuse images throughout Illinois by prohibiting the use of Artificial Intelligence technology to create child sexual abuse images that either involve real children or obscene imagery.
Raoul introduced the legislation, which was sponsored in the General Assembly by state Sen. Mary Edly-Allen and state Rep. Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz.
Experts from the Attorney General’s office testified before legislative committees to explain technological advances that have enabled the creation of realistic, computer-generated images and videos of children and to highlight the ways in which AI-generated child sexual abuse images are harmful. When AI technology uses images of real children to generate child sexual abuse images, the children who are depicted experience real reputational, emotional and privacy injuries.
However, even when the technology does not use images of real children, the
Raoul’s office, with a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, runs the Illinois Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force that investigates child exploitation crimes and trains law enforcement agencies.
House Bill 5371, sponsored by state Sen. Laura Fine and state Rep. Ann Williams, will enhance civil rights protections for people in Illinois and provide important clarifications to the Illinois Human Rights Act. The new law, which is the result of collaborative efforts by the Attorney General’s office and the Illinois Department of Human Rights, specifically will:
• Strengthen relief in discriminatory pattern-and-practice determinations by clarifying the term “per violation.” For example, a business that repeatedly discriminates against multiple employees could be held accountable for each instance of a violation.
• The law also increases the maximum penalty amounts that a court may award in the Attorney General’s pattern-and-practice determinations and fair housing lawsuits.
• Clarify that aggrieved parties have the right to take action to collect judgments, even if they do not intervene in
the state’s enforcement action.
• Codify criteria language from the Illinois Civil Rights Act of 2003 to expressly prohibit unjustified disparate impacts in real estate transactions.
The IHRA grants the Attorney General the authority to investigate broad, systemic problems or incidents of discrimination, referred to as “patterns or practices,” and file suits to remedy such violations.
House Bill 5561 will protect workers from retaliatory conduct by employers, strengthen protections under state law and codify the authority of Raoul’s Workplace Rights Bureau to investigate and hold employers who retaliate or threaten to retaliate accountable.
Sponsored by state Sen. Cristina Castro and state Rep. Marcus Evans, this new law will broaden the scope of conduct protected under the Illinois Whistleblower Act to protect employees who report violations of the law or threats to public health and safety directly to their employer.
The definition of retaliation also is expanded under this law, now including blacklisting an employee from future opportunities and immigration-based retaliation. Finally, the law gives statutory authority to the Attorney General’s office to bring suit against employers who retaliate or
threaten retaliation against employees.
Senate Bill 3713, sponsored by state Sen. Robert Peters and state Rep. Maurice West, II, will increase accessibility to the Illinois Crime Victims Compensation Program, a program administered by the Attorney General’s office that provides reimbursement to eligible victims of violent crime and their families, helping to pay expenses that include hospital and medical charges, funeral and burial costs, relocation expenses and lost wages related to the crime.
The law expands the number of individuals who would be eligible and reduces barriers for victims of violent crime and their families and is the result of the cooperative efforts of the Attorney General’s office, Ascend Justice, and the Alliance for Safety and Justice, a longtime collaborator with the Attorney General’s office.
“My office has continued to work with the General Assembly to develop legislation to protect children, increase access to state services and advocate for the rights of workers and marginalized communities,” Raoul said in a news release. “I look forward to our continued collaboration with law enforcement, legislators and various stakeholders to enact policies that protect residents and communities around Illinois.”

Fulton’s two landfill sites temporarily were closed last week after a notice to Mayor Warren Wiersema and the city from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency stating the city is in violation of the law by operating without the necessary operating permits. The Illinois Pollution Control Board has imposed a fine not to exceed $10,000 for the alleged violations and had the sites not been closed, the city could have been fined up to $1,000 for each day the violation continued.

Combination of factors can contribute to panic attacks
Most people who have had true panic attacks realize they are much more than everyday anxiety. They are accompanied by a strong urge of loss of control and overwhelming anxiety and sometimes people have the sense of things closing in on them and feeling they are “losing it.”
While panic attacks may be brought on by certain events, they also may occur without any warning.
People who are not familiar with panic attacks sometimes label people who have them unfairly because of a lack of understanding.
There may be a combination of factors that contribute to panic attacks. Stress or situations from a patient’s past such as the death of someone or other traumatic event may be contributing factors. Others feel there is a biologic basis – there may be chemical disturbances that occur, perhaps more easily in some on a hereditary basis, that sets them up for having panic attacks.
As noted, panic attacks also may occur for no apparent reason. They may be sudden, with an overwhelming feeling of terror.
In either case, the brain is sending out false messages at the wrong time or overreacting to a perceived danger.
YOUR HEALTH
Stephen D. Harrison, M.D.
Panic attacks may occur even when people realize there is no immediate danger. As with anxiety attacks, there may be a rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath or a smothering sensation. There also may be a fear of dying, fear of losing control or going crazy and a feeling of detachment to reality.
Numbness and tingling are common sensations. Nausea, abdominal distress, trembling, shaking, choking, sweating, hot or cold flashes and even faintness and dizziness may occur.
About 3% to 5% of people experience panic attacks. Some may limit travel and some, unfortunately, may become homebound.
The disorder can be extremely disabling.
The good news is there are treatments and people with panic attacks often can be helped quite effectively.
Behavioral therapy involves techniques that lead to gradual exposure of situations that may cause panic attacks. Patients are exposed to small elements of situations initially and are
gradually desensitized – much like allergy treatments – receiving more exposure to the threatening situations a little bit at a time. The patient develops tolerance to the situation and then should be able to confront the situation that previously may have triggered a panic attack.
Cognitive therapy, which sometimes is referred to as reality therapy, helps patients identify the attitudes and perceptions that fuel the negative feedback cycle of panic attacks. The patient takes inventory, first asking if what they feel is real. Certainly, the symptoms they feel – rapid heartbeat, the smothering sensation, etc. – are real to them. The consciousness then takes over and the patient says, “Despite what I feel, am I really going to die in this situation or do I just feel like it?” Thus, one develops the ability to distinguish between one’s feelings and the actual reality.
Cognitive therapy helps patients to identify the feelings and beliefs that intensify the panic attacks and gradually eliminate those feelings. Another method applied with caution is paradoxical intention. If one feels a panic attack or extreme anxiety coming on, they actually try to make it worse, telling themselves this is going to be the worst attack they ever had to
purposely overt the feelings and sensations they have.
Surprisingly for some this may lead to a rapid reduction in symptoms or even failure to have a panic attack by means of the paradoxical nature on the subconscious. Precautions should be used for those not familiar with this technique. It’s best done through the guidance of someone with experience.
Those with persistent anxiety attacks may find benefit from medications. Common medications include Xanax, Ativan and Clonazepam, which are all relatives of valium and potentially addictive and impairing. Atarax, also known as Hydroxyzine, works using the excess histamine that nature releases in response to stress. It is not addictive and most people will not be impaired on it.
It is important for people to maximize their non-medicine regimens to include regular exercise, time for themselves, meditation and personal reflection. Deep breathing exercises also may be helpful for people during panic attacks.
It also is important for individuals to avoid using alcohol or drugs to get them through the stressful situations. Family support can be quite helpful as well.
Whiteside County public safety sales tax slated for April 2025 ballot
By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com
STERLING – Whiteside County voters in April 2025 once again will be asked to consider a countywide sales tax to help fund emergency dispatch services.
Residents were asked in November to consider the same 0.5% public safety sales tax but the measure failed after 65.85% of voters said no. The Whiteside County Board last week voted to again place the measure on the ballot.
If approved, the sales tax would add an additional 50 cents for every $100 that shoppers spend on general merchandise in Whiteside County. The tax would not apply to groceries or items that must be titled or regis -

Sauk Valley students on UW-Whitewater Dean’s List

tered by a state agency, including watercraft, aircraft, trailers, mobile homes, qualifying drugs (including over-the-counter medications and vitamins) and medical appliances.
Amy Robbins, the county administrator for Whiteside County, said dispatch services cost $1.8 million annually to operate. Outside of radio surcharges, the county and the cities of Sterling and Rock Falls foot the bill.
Robbins said there is a deficit of about $500,000 each year.
If Whiteside County voters approve the tax, cities would not have to pay to cover the services, and the money that Sterling and Rock Falls now spend for 911 services could possibly remain in their general funds for other uses. If the
tax does not pass, cities throughout the county would have to pay for services.
“I’m in favor of this because the alternative to making up that money is usually an increase in property taxes or some sort of utility bill surcharge,” Whiteside County Board Vice Chairman Kurt Glazier said. “Plus, with new businesses like the Love’s truck stop coming to the area, we could have a lot of people who aren’t from the county helping to pay for our services.”
A graphic shared by Whiteside County Sheriff John Booker on his Facebook page shows the estimated cost that each town and the county would be responsible for if the measure does not pass:

• Sterling: $378,797
• Whiteside County: $496,394
• Special Service Area 1: $175,000
The tax is estimated to raise an annual $2 million that could only be used for matters of public safety. Any funds left over would be used to buy equipment and radio and software upgrades while allowing for multiagency interaction.
“It’s a hard sell,” Glazier said. “But it’s a tax that’s not going away. However, it can be lowered down the road when we find ourselves in better financial times.”
